Pinguicula tejedensis

A temperate butterwort described in 2020 from southern Spain; the name refers to the Sierra Tejeda. Little was available to us beyond the name and two records, so this profile is built from the measured site (about 1580 m) and the habits of related Iberian butterworts that grow on wet calcareous rock and overwinter as resting buds.

The one measured site is at about 1580 m.
